Favorite Winter Outing 2008 memories

We just got back from Winter Outing 2008 last night, and those of you who missed it really missed out! We learned about God's love for us and had a lot of fun together. And I came away from the retreat thinking, "Wow, I love my kids!"

Some of my favorite memories:
  • The "Daddy"/TIGS adults-as-family inside joke (and the awkwardness that came when parents came to pick up their kids).
  • The two historic Byron-going-down the snow slide moments with me and Vince, respectively. Hmm, maybe I should post that on YouTube... :)
  • "Apples to Apples": I never knew Chicken McNuggets could be so "magical"! :)
  • Grossing Cliff out with my synergistic, vitamin-filled orange juice/Honey Nut Cheerios combination. Arica's ingenious suggestion for making "orange chicken." (Maybe I can try that on the next outing. :) )
  • Connie's adventures with a roll of duct tape.
  • Teaching others about how God used the awkwardness and loneliness of my middle school years and worked His good designs through it. Teaching about God's powerful, wise love from the last part of Romans 8.

Do you have other favorite memories? Feel free to post them in the comments!

Ehh... I couldn't make it.
From what I heard, there were very few boys. I'm sad.
"Screamer" seemed to go well. I'm glad.

Gideon--ya, I wish you could have come. Oh well. Just make sure you come on the Summer Outing!

"Screamer" was a lot of fun. I'd never heard of that game before, so when I was reading the schedule, I was cracking up just reading the description! :)

Andrea--thanks for the idea. I'd love to do that, but I'm not sure about posting too many pictures online. Maybe I will; maybe I won't. But Vince was thinking that we could have a really cool photo board on the TIGS bulletin board. I'd love to see something like that.
